brennamaplesphotoHere’s what she had to say about her moving, encouraging song “Don’t Give Up” which has an uplifting message for anyone following their dreams or going through a tough time in life. The song weaves together stories inspired by her family and and we love the soothing sound of her voice:

This is a song for everyone who has gone through or is going through a hard time in life. No matter what, don’t give up.

“Don’t Give Up” is a song I wrote about my grandpa’s life events. He is still living and survived all of that! I also wrote it to encourage my sister to not give up through her battle of cancer. She has been cancer free for over a year, but she is still looking for a donor for a kidney transplant. I told her to not give up and to stay strong! This song is also for everyone that is going through a hard time. I want the song to encourage them to stay strong through whatever life brings and to not give up!
